Sault Ste. Marie

This week, the Library of Michigan approved an agreement between Chippewa County, Mackinac County, and the City of Sault Ste. Marie, creating the Superior District Library. Incorporating the territory served by Bayliss Public Library with its six branches and Rudyard School Public Library, the new library system will continue to bring quality library service to a large portion of the Eastern Upper Peninsula.

The Superior District Library will be governed by a six-member board, appointed by the three participating governmental units.

With the district library, residents served by Rudyard library will no longer have to pay an annual non-resident fee. Library cards issued at any of the system’s libraries can be used at any other participating libraries, and materials can be returned at any one of them, as well. Services that the libraries provide will remain the same. Programming will continue to grow and be available throughout the district.

For more information about the new Superior District Library and its governing body, contact Ken Miller at Bayliss Public Library, 541 Library Drive in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, or at kmiller@baylisslibrary.org.
